The Liberty Café primarily welcomes guests arriving after visiting the Bastion of Freedom exhibition, focusing on signature desserts inspired by Hungarian confectionery traditions and the spirit of the location. The selection ranges from the walnut-foam Kossuth kifli and the Gerbeaud-inspired “Ágyúgolyó” to the creamy Szabadság slice with rum-infused sour cherries. Guests can also enjoy specialties such as the Dubai chocolate slice, velvety raspberry mousse, or a vegan salted caramel–peanut slice.
Those looking for something more substantial can choose from artisan sandwiches made with sourdough bread, including the crispy bacon Citadella Croque, Mediterranean tuna cream, or a fresh vegan option. The offer is completed by warm grilled paninis, crispy sausages, and homemade cheese pogácsa.
For refreshments, guests can select from coffeehouse classics such as a Flat White or Café Latte, as well as loose-leaf teas and homemade lemonades. The drinks menu also features signature items like the Liberty Spritz made with Tokaji Aszú, cocktails based on Historia Gin, alongside wines from renowned Hungarian wineries and Budapest Beer craft lager.
The inner park and viewing terraces of the Citadella are freely accessible throughout the day. Opening hours of the Bastion of Liberty exhibition in the rondella and the hospitality venues may vary seasonally, so we recommend checking the latest information on the contact page.
The Citadella is located at one of Budapest's most iconic spots, on top of Gellért Hill. It can be reached by public transport via bus (27 – Búsuló Juhász) or tram (19, 41, 56, 56A – Rudas Spa) to the foot of the hill, followed by a short and pleasant walk.
The developed walking paths starting from Gellért Square or Tabán are ideal. Along the way, you can enjoy stunning views and take a break at the Liberty Café or with a refreshing chimney cake ice cream.
During the renovations, accessible paths have been created in several sections, making the Citadella increasingly accessible to a wider range of visitors.
From the Citadella, one of Budapest's most complete panoramas unfolds: the Danube, Parliament, Buda Castle, the bridges and downtown Pest are all visible.
In the morning, the light is clear; at sunset, the golden hour creates a warm glow; and in the evening, the illuminated city offers a unique experience.
During the day it offers a nature-filled panoramic experience, while in the evening it becomes romantic and visually striking thanks to the illuminated city.
